Like I said, October’s a ways off, but the person who sent me the link said the event sells out really quickly. (Last year, more than 1,000 people attended.)

Here’s the ticket site. General admission tickets ($58) don’t go on sale until Aug. 10, but you can buy a VIP package right now (for $118). It includes two beverage coupons, a T-shirt, a discount card good at barbecue joints across the state, admission to the festival an hour before the gates to the public, and a subscription to Texas Monthly.
